Are Hippos still found in Egypt?

Question

On the BBC Website it said hippos are no longer found in egypt, but all my teachers are saying they ARE still found in Egypt!

Answer 1

no

Answer 2

No.

But, there are small amounts in the zoo

Answer 3

i trust the BBC as a good source of news .

hippos are too huge to get through the Aswan Dam or the High Dam.

so, it has been many years now that we have been deprived of the presence of hippos in the Nile in Egypt.

if they are to be found , they would be in Sudan .

we have them in our Giza Zoo .

they are good family water animals .

a hippo is always with its mate , giving each other comfort and good company .

Answer 4

no..only in the zoo!

Answer 5

Answer 6

Yup, they live in the Nile, same as always.

Answer 8

There may be the rare sighting of one near the Egyptian and Sundanese border, but other than that,hippos even the pygmy hippopotamus are not found in Egypt anymore.

Officially they are termed extinct to Egypt which once saw many different species of the animal along the Nile .

They are even considered to be a rare sighting in Sudan these days.

The BBC website is very particular about only displaying information from expert sources and teachers are not infallible.

If it had been stated on wikipedia alone I would query it, as that site is renowned for giving misinformation as it comes from public contributors where the BBC relies only on the most respected experts in the relevant fields.

Not any more. They can be found  in the Nile river though south of Egypt in Sudan. They can not reach Egypt because of the High Dam at Aswan.

The same goes for crocodiles.
